Tales from a Fractured Folly: 23rd November 2017

This is pretty much the view from my spot at the table every morning. The tree is a massive copper beech and it has been a cause of worry for me for a long time as it had an odd branch sticking out at the top. I had noticed a few weeks ago this branch had disappeared and I thought it had broken off in the wind. But now the tree has lost its leaves you can see some of the branches just stop: someone has pruned it. How? And also why? It’s huge.
